Why get involved?

Around 500 new cancers are diagnosed in Jersey each year* which can be devastating news for both the person diagnosed, and their families and friends. We also estimate that there are 3,000 people in Jersey currently living with Cancer. Macmillan Cancer Support Jersey is here to support and empower anybody touched by cancer in Jersey.

In 2016, we provided 3,661 support sessions, this included emotional support, providing information or and complementary therapies. We also welcomed over 300 people to our coffee mornings, afternoon teas and, chat and play for children with a cancer diagnosis.

It costs £6,179 per week to run Macmillan Cancer Support (Jersey), and we solely rely on the generosity of Islanders, local businesses, trusts and foundations. Now more than ever, we need people like you to join our team and help us make sure that no one in Jersey faces cancer alone. For more information about how we raise and spend our money please see our annual report.

This weekend at the Standard Chartered Jersey Marathon, we have a Macmillan Jersey Relay team as well as three full marathon runners running on our behalf, one of whom is our own Fundraising and Events Coordinator, Michelle.
